By a team using data from NASA: Besides proving theory correct, identifying giant cells on the\u00a0sun\u00a0might help to better predict solar events that have a direct impact on us\u2014solar flares,\u00a0coronal mass ejections, etc.\u2014all can wreak havoc on man-made electronics. Figuring out how to predict such events and to determine their size in advance could go […]<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
